Speech Pathology
Understanding Sydney Speech Pathologists
Speech Pathologists study, diagnose and treat communication disorders, including difficulties with speaking, listening, understanding language, reading, writing, social skills, stuttering and using voice. They work with people who have difficulty communicating because of a medical condition such as developmental delays, stroke, brain injuries, intellectual disability, or dementia. Speech Pathologists also work with people who experience difficulties swallowing food and drink safely.
